Look, I'm not 'the man', I'm not some ultra conservative with a stick up my ass. I'm not a giggly kid, I'm mature - I'm in my middle 30's, and I know folks my age and older who still try to convince me that they're in it for medical reasons. Why do people continually show me such disrespect that they have to lie to me? Why is it so hard for people to just admit they want to get high?

All you folks out there that are lying right now, realize that the reason you incite such vitriol is because when you lie to us in such an obvious way, what you are really telling us is one of two things:

"I do not respect you." and/or "I do not respect myself."

Either marks YOU as someone who is not deserving of respect.

That's why some people treat you like a reprobate, not because you like to get high, but because you treat others and/or yourself like crap.

scottydoesntknow:fireclown: Psycoholic_Slag: fireclown: No, subby. This story isn't "big pharma gets richer", it is "medical marijuana advocates don't want medicine so much as they want to get high".

You say that like it's a bad thing. Thanks for looking out for my best interests.

I don't mean to. I favor full legalization for recreational use. But I have come to despise the artifice. Every time someone starts going on and on about the amazing medical powers (and total lack of negative effects) of Marijuana, they seem to be stoners. I just want some more honesty in the conversation.

Ohhh shut the fark up. You spout the same shiat every time "I'd be in favor of legalization if potheads would just admit it's for recreational use!" Well here you go: I want it legalized for recreational use. Unfortunately that hasn't worked very well in the past. By pushing its medicinal benefits (and don't argue about the medicinal benefits, you look stupid every time), we can at least get it pushed into a positive light and work from there.

I want some more honesty from you. You show up in damn near every MJ thread spouting the same shiat, while ignoring the farkers that do use it (or their friends/family) for the medicinal benefits. Why do you ignore all of their posts?

Somebody somewhere said marijuana never causes any problems and he just wants to address that this may be undermining marijuana legalization. He's just looking for the people that always do that to provide some honesty. He's just very, very concerned that these people may be using medicine as a ruse for drug legalization.

Ehhh not really. That's actually one of the arguments against the pill form. As it comes in pre-measured doses, you can't control how much you intake, which can make you feel worse than if you hadn't taken anything.

The chemical that causes appetite increases - which is what all the pro-legaized/pro-'medicinal' people claim is a benefit from smoking is easily synthesized and manufactured in pill form. Again old info.

PLUS doing it this way removes the 'intoxicants' from the pot so a user won't get high.

The pro-pot/pro-'medicinal' people have an issue with doing it this way.
